CTP Seminar

  • Speaker: Alexey Golovnev
  • Title : Geometry of Teleparallel Gravity Models
  • Place: Level 3 Meeting Room, BUE Science Park (#312)
  • Date: 28 Jan 2025
  • Time: 2:00 PM

  • Abstract:-
  • I will review the fundamental geometric properties of theories with a flat connection on top of the metric geometry. Particular attention will be paid to the commonly considered cases of metric teleparallelism and symmetric teleparallelism, as well as to numerous confusions related with spherically symmetric solutions in those. Finally, I will explain why I am very skeptical about taking GR-equivalent models as superior to the Einstein-Hilbert GR itself.
